We met each other at Illinois State University by living on the same floor as one another. Our first date was at McAllisters Deli in the Bone Student Center, where luckily they took Flex bucks, because we were broke college kids! After playing it cool the whole date, all hope was lost when Tom didn't even walk Desiree back to her dorm room - yes that's right, I did say we lived on the same floor as one another... For some reason though, Desiree decided to give Tom a second chance and he never let it happen again! After both graduating, the two decided to finally to return to campus to reminisce and remember all of the good times that were had there. Little did Desiree know that one more memory was about to be made! They walked the campus a few times while Tom tried to muster up the courage to ask the question, and finally on the quad, under the shady trees, he got down on one knee and asked Desiree to marry him.
